His voice was effortless and understated.
But.
It landed on the stalemate battlefield like a thunderclap.
When Tang Mingde saw Gu Guanhai suddenly appear, he subconsciously took a step forward, leaning on his cane.
"Mr. Gu!"
He called out in a worried whisper, then subconsciously followed Gu Guanhai's steps, "You shouldn't have come out!"
Righteousness often comes from humble beginnings.
He wasn't some underground worker, nor did he possess any particularly high level of awareness. He was simply a leader of an underground force operating between the light and the darkness. The reason he and his men were here was simply because…
Some say that a food shortage is imminent in Northwest China.
Some say that the grain purchased by the Xia Kingdom was detained at this dock.
Some people say that when one's homeland is in trouble, one should ask if the person is willing to lend a helping hand.
he……
I agreed without hesitation.
Not for anything else, but for that one word: "homeland".
It is only because there are people who, even today, still acknowledge that they are wanderers from their homeland.
Even so, when Tang Mingde saw that the person in charge of this matter was Gu Hai, he was still struck dumb and shocked beyond words.
A person's name is like the shadow of a tree.
Who is Gu Hai?
That was their Xia Kingdom's once invincible general.
It is because their Xia Kingdom does not have the current Dark King.
Tang Mingde operated in the shadows. He had previously engaged in underground transactions with the Xia Kingdom. Although he had heard that the Xia Kingdom's underground transactions were backed by powerful figures, it was just hearsay.
He didn't take it seriously, and he couldn't even imagine it.
It's unbelievable that the person endorsing the underground transactions in Xia Kingdom is Gu Hai.
What kind of situation would a country have to be pushed to the point that someone like Gu Hai would lay down his military uniform and take charge of underground work?
Tang Mingde tossed and turned for several sleepless nights because of this.
I am also incredibly proud to have been able to participate in this operation.
Even the greatest men must eventually die.
It may be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai.
Tang Mingde and his men had always believed that, given their status, their deaths were destined to be meaningless, but they never expected...
Unexpectedly, they actually had the chance to die a worthy death, without any regrets!
so.
They've arrived.
They purchased the grain through legitimate channels.
They became the nominal owners of this batch of grain.
They are defending their own property and want to move it away, which is legal and compliant, and no one can interfere!
Gu Guanhai heard this: ...
She turned her head and glanced at Tang Mingde, then smiled at him.
And it was just one glance, one smile.
This made Tang Mingde's face flush with excitement.
He did not speak up to stop him again.
He followed closely behind Gu Guanhai, as if he had suddenly found a kindred spirit to guide him through his solitary life, and found faith in his uncertain future.
Houston: "!!!"
Almost the instant he heard Gu Guanhai's voice, his body trembled.
"Gu...Gu Hai!"
He stared in disbelief at Gu Guanhai as he slowly walked out, and said in a trembling voice, "How dare you! You actually dared to come out!"
Gu Guanhai chuckled upon hearing this.
He lowered his head and chuckled softly, saying, "What wouldn't I dare to do?"
As he spoke, he turned and looked around, his gaze sweeping over the guards confronting Tang Mingde's men before settling back on Houston.
“I dare to come, but you don’t seem to know much about hospitality.”
He looked at Houston with a smile and said, "You think you can take me away with so few people? What's your name again?"
Upon hearing this, Houston opened his mouth as if to speak.
But.
Gu Guanhai didn't give him a chance to speak, and interrupted him, saying, "What you call yourself is not important. What's important is that you are not qualified to entertain me."
As he spoke, he looked behind Houston, "Come out, my old friend!"
